Bare But For Sportin'
Lyrics: Genie
(Apologies to Phil Ochs)


Show me the TV set in your room,
Show me the channel that's closed-circuit (with a zoom),
And I'll show you, lodgers, way upon the hill so high,
That bare-but for sportin', go Hugh and Di,
Hugh and Di.

We've showed you the alley cats and the squirrels;
We've showed you lots of critters for your little boys and girls;
A new show's now showin'--not sure the reasons why--
Where bare-but for sportin', go Hugh and Di.
Hugh and Di.

Have they had too much whiskey? Are their brains on the floor?
Was it here from the barroom that they sprinted out the door?
It's showin' on your TV
That was meant for badger spies
That bare-but for sportin', go Hugh and Di,
Hugh and Di.

See? There's the forest where the snow starts to fall.
See the two looney guests who've answered Nature's call?
Wearin' just a bobble hat, silhouetted 'gainst the sky
And bare-but for sportin', go Hugh and Di,
Hugh and Di.
